John Riddoch Rymill 1905-1968 polar explorer and farmer was the leader of the expedition; he was born in Penola South Australia a grandson of the pioneer John Riddoch. 'Rymill's party proved that Graham Land was part of a continental extension now the Antarctic Peninsula. They discovered a southern permanently frozen channel later named King George VI Sound islanding Alexander I Land now Alexander Island and extending to the Bellingshausen Sea. The B.G.L.E. logistics were innovative in Antarctica. Outstanding sledging with dogs especially over sea ice was backed by air support and depot laying; the use of a motor launch probing ahead to plot a route for "Penola" through uncharted rock-strewn waters was original and successful. The "Penola" covered 26896 miles 43283 km mostly under sail' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Chatto and Windus hardcover
